Throughout Assassins Creed II, Ezio is able to purchase famous Renaissance artwork from art merchants, all of which are displayed in Ezio's Villa in Monteriggioni. Many of these masterful paintings are created by Leonardo da Vinci. When visiting Ezio's home, he can study each painting for a close up view and a brief biography of the painting's history. Collecting these paintings is also mandatory if the player wishes to restore Ezio's Villa to its full glory.
